ITEM DESCRIPTION
My Stock Ref: - #GT/Oct26 in box marked #SB
This is 1 of a number of antique and vintage Chinese pottery, rock crystal, glass, resin, and metal snuff bottles I am currently listing. Most still have their polished hardstone lid with the fine snuff spoon / dabber attached. I am not sure of their period. Please check out the others - they all have #SB at the end of the title.
This is an antique original Chinese snuff bottle made from porcelain/pottery that has been hand painted with a scene of 2 people in a garden or court inside detailed floral borders. It also has some nice gilt detailing.
It has a blue hardstone or glass topped stopper in the top but the cork has snapped part way down so it is stuck inside the neck.
It does have a maker/signature on the base but I'm not sure what it says.
Please see close-up photographs provided which form part of the visual description / condition.
Normal signs of age and use wear, including some surface scuffs and minor impact marks etc.
The glazing is crazed.
It measures approx. 74mm tall including the stopper x 38mm x 22mm at its widest points.
Postage policies:
If I have FREE post - be assured any item selling for over £75 will be sent Special Delivery - insured to you.
International overseas buyers please read this first - I use eBay International Shipping - (EIS) to send items to you. All items I send to their UK shipping hub and they are processed and forwarded onto you.
EIS sorts any paperwork, taxes and tariffs etc. which enables items to get through customs much faster than other delivery companies.
EIS then decide on the cost of shipping, sales tax, and possible other charges etc. - All this information can found on the listing when bidding or buying.
I have no control over the prices that EIS set to you.
The shipping time is usually very quick but as you can appreciate there may be delays for any number of reasons which are out of both mine and your control. Thank you.
14 day REFUND policy with antique and second hand goods. NOT 30 DAYS.
If you see A/F = a/f in the title or description it means "as found" condition which may have scuffs, scratches and damage. In relation to all my listings it does not mean " about fine ". I have used A/F for " as found " for 50 years.
To be fair to all bidders I do NOT end auctions early, so please do not ask for a buy it now on an auction item.
